Warwick residents are being given the chance to highlight their concerns about the town this month.

Residents of Warwick are invited to attend the Autumn Court Leet Meeting on October 22 2026 at 6.30pm in The Ballroom, at the Court House, Jury Street, Warwick.

"If you have any concerns about matters in Warwick which you feel are amiss, please present them to this court for their consideration to be taken to the Lord of the Leet who is the Mayor of Warwick," organisers said.

The Court Leet dates back to the Middle Ages and is one of the few left in the country.

One of the courts main duties is to receive 'Presentments' from residents of the town.

Presentments are matters that resident/s feel are amiss and need rectifying, or matters which could benefit the town and/or townspeople.

If these are accepted by the court, the steward will submit them to the relevant local authority i.e. town, district or county council, and they are legally obliged to respond to the court.

There are four courts that take place annually of which the spring and autumn Courts are open to members of the public.

This is a chance for the public to see the tradition and regalia of this historical court that is a living history of a way of managing the town, and to raise any issues/matters within Warwick.

The Court Leet is also now responsible for organising the Warwick Beer Festival and the Warwick Classic Car Show which raises money for local good causes.
